The International Applied Physics Olympiad (IAPhO) is a global physics competition organized by the Indonesia Scientific Society (ISS), designed to bridge the gap between classroom physics theory and the practical demands of cutting-edge research and industry.
Unlike traditional olympiads that focus on theoretical problem-solving, IAPhO emphasizes applied skills: experimental design, numerical modeling, simulation tasks, and scientific communication. The competition format includes real-world problem-solving challenges, poster sessions, international scientific debates, and cross-national collaborative projects, with mentorship from scientists, university faculty, and industry partners.
Detailed eligibility criteria, registration deadlines, and competition schedule for the 2026 edition are being published on the official website and social media channels. Visit iss.or.id/p/iapho.html or follow @indonesia.scientific.society on Instagram for the latest updates.
